Failing to create a helical body in SpaceClaim

      Hello everyone,

      I have successfully created a helical body in DM. And I am learning SpaceClaim to create the same geometry but it fails though I have tried for many times.

      I used sweep tool and added pitch in DM as showing below.

       

      And I have the geometry.

      But it failed to create no matter  I used pull-revolve and enable revolve helix or sweep tools in  SpaceClaim.

      I want to know if  SpaceClaim generate this geometry and how? Any of your suggestions would do me a greate favor!!

      Hello Lee, 

      You can refer this Creating a Helical Geometry in SpaceClaim - Ansys Knowledge video which shows different options for creating helix in SpaceClaim.

        Oh, Thanks a lot, professor Devendra. I have already solved my problem. I used to think that creating the  helical object rotating about its own axis only using pull tool but it failed. I solved it by having a hexahedron cut.
